  • Luke 7:1-9 : 1 After Jesus had finished all His teachings for the people to hear, He entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a servant whom he valued highly, but the servant was sick and near death. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Him, asking Him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly pleaded with Him, saying, 'He is worthy for You to do this for him.' 5 'For he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.' 6 So Jesus went with them. When He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to Him, 'Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.' 7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 8 'For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes; and to another, "Come," and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.' 9 When Jesus heard this, He marveled at him. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, 'I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.' 10 When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

  • Acts 10:1-9 : 1 There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout man and feared God along with all his household. He gave many alms to the people and prayed to God continually. 3 One afternoon, about three o’clock, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying, 'Cornelius.' 4 Cornelius gazed at him in fear and asked, 'What is it, Lord?' The angel replied, 'Your prayers and your acts of charity have ascended as a memorial offering before God.' 5 Now send men to Joppa and call for Simon, who is also named Peter. 6 He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do. 7 When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 After describing everything to them, he sent them to Joppa. 9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray about noon. 10 He became very hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened, and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds of the air. 13 Then a voice said to him, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.' 14 But Peter said, 'By no means, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.' 15 Again, the voice came to him a second time, saying, 'What God has made clean, you must not call common.' 16 This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven. 17 While Peter was deeply perplexed about what the vision he had seen might mean, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius had asked for Simon’s house and stood at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon, also known as Peter, was staying there as a guest. 19 While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Behold, three men are looking for you.' 20 Now rise, go down, and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them. 21 So Peter went down to the men and said, 'Behold, I am the one you are looking for. Why have you come?' 22 They replied, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say.' 23 So Peter invited them in as his guests. The next day he got up and went with them. Some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. 24 The following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up and said, 'Stand up! I myself am also a man.' 27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found many people gathered. 28 He said to them, 'You know it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, but God has shown me that I must not call any person common or unclean.' 29 That is why I came without objection when I was sent for. Now may I ask why you sent for me? 30 Cornelius replied, 'Four days ago at this very hour, I was fasting and praying in my house at three in the afternoon, and suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me. 31 He said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your acts of charity have been remembered before God. 32 Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.' 33 So immediately, I sent for you, and you were kind enough to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to say.
